INTRODUCTION

OEHS SAFE SCHOOL INSPECTION PROGRAM

The education of our children requires a learning environment which is safe and health-protective.

Maintaining a safe learning environment requires the commitment and active participation of school

administrators, plant managers, central support staff, and an informed school community. The Safe

School Inspection Program was established to provide comprehensive routine assessment of safety

conditions in all Los Angeles Unified School District schools.

SAFE SCHOOL INSPECTION PROCESS

The Safe School Inspection process begins with a meeting between the OEHS safety officer and the site

administrator. The meeting is followed by a brief walk-through of the school with the site administrator

or plant manager. The safety officer then conducts a detailed inspection in accordance with the regulatory

standards referenced in this Guidebook. The inspection concludes with a meeting between the safety

officer and the site administrator to review the inspection findings and discuss any other safety concerns.

OBJECTIVE OF THE GUIDEBOOK

This Guidebook covers 14 safety areas and defines the mandatory health and safety standards applicable

to schools. Although the Guidebook was designed primarily for OEHS use, it is also a useful tool for

school administrators, plant managers, and other members of the school community. For copies of the

Safe School Inspection Guidebook, please refer to the OEHS web site: www.lausd-oehs.org.
